Summary
Texas hospitals are treating children with vitamin A poisoning linked to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s promotion of the supplement as a measles treatment.
At Covenant Children’s hospital in Lubbock, patients with measles showed abnormal liver function due to excessive vitamin A intake.
Kennedy, the U.S. health secretary, claimed vitamin A dramatically reduces measles mortality. Experts warn his messaging confuses parents and downplays the proven protection of the MMR vaccine.
The U.S. faces its worst measles outbreak in decades, with nearly 500 cases across 21 states and two confirmed deaths.
Saw this coming a mile away. Licenses for parenting, please!
“I’m sorry, you’re not white so you can’t be a parent” is, historically, how that’d go.
There’s still tens of thousands of people alive right now that were forcefully sterilized up until the late 70s. 10 years ago we passed laws to help the victims. We can find and talk to people who have had their “parenting license” taken away by the state.
I hate that you are right.
At least some mandatory education would be a good idea.
Who is granting these licenses and what are the criteria?
In the US right now, it seems that you may be required to reject vaccinations and to poison your children. The guy in charge of the agency eats roadkill and had a worm eating his brain (not attacks—facts out of his own mouth).
Be careful what you wish for.
Um. Think for a moment, who’d be granting these licenses?
your local christian priest of course.
I know, I know. It’s not that simple. Wishful thinking.
I can! Am I qualified? Doubt it. That makes me the perfect candidate it seems.
While you’re at it, also licenses for government officials please! The man is minister of health damn.
YES!
